Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation is defined as an excessive forward movement of the condyle beyond the articular eminence with complete separation of the articular surfaces and fixation in that position. The aim of this study was to describe a modified miniplate designed for treating chronic mandibular dislocations and evaluate the results of its placement in one patient, who was followed for 18 months. The treatment of chronic mandibular dislocation using this modified miniplate was shown to be efficient in relation to the postoperative maximal mouth opening, recurrence and articular function.
颞下颌关节(TMJ)脱位是指髁突过度向前运动超过关节结节,关节面完全分离并固定在该位置。本研究旨在描述一种改良的微型钢板,用于治疗慢性下颌脱位,并评估其在一名患者中的放置效果,该患者随访 18 个月。使用这种改良微型钢板治疗慢性下颌脱位在术后最大张口度、复发和关节功能方面显示出了有效性。
